The Lenny Lamb Ergonomic Carrier is a soft structured carrier made from 100% cotton wrap fabric, meaning it's soft but still very supportive. It's ergonomically designed for both wearer and baby. The shoulder straps are well padded, as is the wide waistband. Although the waistband is wide and padded, it's soft and flexible, making it very comfortable for a wide range of wearers. The wide base of the carrier itself ensures that your baby is positioned safely and comfortably, whether you carry him on your front or your back.
